Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams Dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
- 3 large Eggs
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 25 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 60 grams Mini chocolate chips
- as needed Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a bouchon or muffin pan. If using a silicone pan, place it on a baking sheet for stability.
Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well-combined and slightly pale.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until smooth and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Add the mini chocolate chips and stir just until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared bouchon or muffin pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bouchons to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, lightly dust the tops of the bouchons with powdered sugar before serving.
